The only time I watched Prairie Home Companion was when I went to a live taping (in Baton Rouge, many years ago). I was not disillusioned at all, but I suspect that the excitement of seeing the show live helped; if I had watched on television instead, I might well have felt like several others here, that I would have preferred never to have seen the program, in order to leave my imagination unhindered.

Lindsey Lohan has been filming on location here in Louisiana recently, and got a lot of press covereage for her late-night hijinks. Rumors were abounding that she had been an intolerable prima donna on the set, when not too hung over to show up at all.

I'm sure it's difficult to have to grow up in public. I'm glad I wasn't being followed around by cameras when I was a teenager.
